Leafman opened the Mesa business to help guide applicants through the health care registration process.

Katie Johnson of Mesa was paying $450 a month for her family's private plan. She was forced to buy one after losing her job. She avoided the flawed Healthcare.gov website, and instead filed a paper application. Her new, similar Obamacare plan will cost her $130 a month.

"It was really quick and painless. I was surprised," Johnson said.

Leafman's business has only been able to sign one person up for Obamacare using Healthcare.gov. He's signed up 80 through paper applications.

"We're still hopeful that they fix the website by the end of November," Leafman said.

The insurance marketplaces are a key component of President Barack Obama's health care law, which requires almost all Americans to have health coverage starting next year.
